3 Introduction Microsoft Outlook 2013 is a great tool for communication, time and information management, and collaboration. It is used to create, organize, and track several types of items such as messages, contacts, appointments, and tasks. To minimize the work of dealing with such diverse items, Outlook provides a module for each type and presents each module in a similar interface, allowing you to work with different items in a consistent way. This handout provides an overview of the Outlook 2013 user interface and covers how to perform basic tasks such as sending, receiving, deleting, and printing messages, setting up automatic replies, creating signatures, organizing messages, and getting help. Starting Outlook The following steps are for starting Outlook 2013 using the computers in the ITS Training Program computer labs. The steps for starting the program on other computers may vary. NOTE: Before you can use Outlook 2013, you need to configure the program to connect to your Cal State L.A. account. To start Outlook 2013: 1. Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Microsoft Office 2013, and then click Outlook The program window opens, displaying the Mail module. Overview of the User Interface Outlook 2013 includes many features and tools to help you stay connected with people and better manage your time and information. The main program window organizes all of your Outlook folders for easy access, and individual windows help you view, create, and work with the different types of Outlook items (see Figure 1 and Table 1). Figure 1 Outlook 2013 Program Window Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 3

4 Table 1 Outlook 2013 Program Window Elements Name Title bar Quick Access toolbar Ribbon Folder pane Content pane Reading pane Navigation bar Status bar Description Appears at the top of the program window and displays the name of the current folder, the active account, and the program. The buttons on the right side of the Title bar are used to get help; change the display of the Ribbon; and minimize, restore, maximize, and close the program window. Appears on the left side of the Title bar and contains frequently used commands that are independent of the tab displayed on the Ribbon. Extends across the top of the program window, directly below the Title bar, and consists of a set of tabs, each of which contains groups of related commands. Appears on the left side of the program window and provides quick access to your Outlook folders. Its contents change depending on the module you are using. Appears in the center of the program window and displays the content of the selected module ( messages, calendar, contacts, tasks, etc.). Appears on the right side of the program window and allows you to preview the content of the selected item or attachment. Appears at the bottom of the program window, above the Status bar, and is used to switch between Outlook modules. Appears at the bottom of the program window and displays useful information such as the number of items in the selected folder, active reminders, and current connection status to the server. The tools on the right side of the Status bar can be used to change the view of the active module and adjust the magnification of the Reading pane. Ribbon The Ribbon is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. It consists of a set of task-specific tabs that change depending on the currently active module, item, or content (see Figure 2). The Ribbon in each module includes five standard tabs: File, Home, Send/Receive, Folder, and View (see Table 2). The different Outlook item windows share certain common tabs, but each includes an item-specific tab (such as Message, Appointment, Contact, or Task). The standard tabs are visible at all times. Other tabs, known as contextual tabs, appear only when you create or select certain types of objects (such as images or tables). These tabs are indicated by colored headers and contain commands that are specific to working with the selected object. Clicking a tab displays a set of related commands that are organized into logical groups. Commands generally take the form of buttons and lists; some appear in galleries. Pointing to an option in most lists or galleries displays a live preview of that effect on the selected text or object. You can apply the previewed formatting by clicking the selected option, or you can cancel previewing without making any changes by pressing the Esc key. Some commands include an integrated or separate arrow. Clicking the arrow displays a menu of options available for the command. The appearance of the buttons and groups on the Ribbon changes depending on the width of the program or item window. If a command appears dimmed, it is unavailable. Pointing to a command on the Ribbon displays its name, description, and keyboard shortcut (if it has one) in a ScreenTip. Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 4

5 A dialog box launcher appears in the lower-right corner of most groups on the Ribbon (see Figure 2). Clicking it opens a related dialog box or task pane that offers additional options or more precise control than the commands available on the Ribbon. You can collapse the Ribbon by clicking the Collapse the Ribbon button on the right side of the Ribbon (see Figure 2) or by double-clicking the current tab. When the Ribbon collapsed, only the tab names are visible. You can expand the Ribbon by double-clicking any tab. Table 2 Ribbon Tabs Name File tab Home tab Send/Receive tab Folder tab View tab Figure 2 Ribbon Description Displays the Backstage view which contains file-management commands as well as commands related to managing Outlook and Outlook accounts. Includes commands you can use to create and manage Outlook items such as messages, calendar items, contacts, and tasks. The Home tab is active by default and changes to reflect the commands necessary to manage items within the current module. Includes commands you can use to synchronize data in Outlook with data on your mail server, show send/receive status, and set connection and download preferences. Includes commands you can use to create and manage folders in which you can store messages and other Outlook items. You can also recover deleted items, set folder permissions, and control archive settings. Includes commands you can use to change the way items are displayed in the Content pane; display, hide, or change the location of program window panes; and open or close secondary program windows. Quick Access Toolbar The Quick Access toolbar provides one-click access to commonly used commands and options. By default, it is located on the left side of the Title bar. The program window and each of the Outlook item windows have individually configurable Quick Access toolbars. In the program window, the Quick Access toolbar displays the Send/Receive All Folders button and the Undo/Redo button (see Figure 3). In the individual item windows, the Quick Access toolbar displays the Save, Undo, Redo, Previous Item, and Next Item buttons (see Figure 4). You can change the location of the Quick Access toolbar as well as customize it to include commands that you use frequently. Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 5

When you first start Outlook, the program window displays the Mail module. You can display any module by clicking the corresponding text label or icon on the Navigation bar. The Mail module allows you to send and receive messages. The Calendar module allows you to schedule and track appointments and meetings. The People module allows you to store information about the people you regularly communicate with, including their name, address, street address, and phone number. The Tasks module allows you to create and track your tasks and to-do items. Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 8

9 Outlook Folders Outlook 2013 includes several folders that contain different types of data. You can access these folders from the Folder pane. By default, only the most relevant folders of the active module are displayed. You can display the full list of folders by clicking the ellipsis icon on the right side of the Navigation bar, and then clicking Folders on the menu (see Figure 13). Figure 13 Navigation Menu The following list describes the default Outlook 2013 folders: Inbox: Outlook delivers new messages to this folder. Drafts: Outlook stores temporary copies of in-progress messages in this folder. Sent Items: When you send a message, Outlook stores a copy of it in this folder. Deleted Items: Outlook items that you delete from other folders are stored in this folder. They are not permanently deleted until you empty the folder. Calendar: This folder contains your schedule, including appointments, meetings, and events. Contacts: This folder stores information about people such as their name, address, street address, and phone number. Journal: This folder stores your journal items, allowing you to keep track of phone calls, time spent on a project, important messages, and other events and tasks. Junk Outlook delivers messages blocked by the spam filter to this folder. Notes: This folder stores your notes. Outbox: Outlook holds outgoing messages in this folder until they are delivered to their destination servers. RSS Feeds: Website information feeds you subscribe to are available from this folder. Suggested Contacts: This folder contains the addresses of people with whom you have exchanged messages, but who are not in your Contacts folder. Sync Issues: This folder contains a list of conflicts and communication failures on your mail server or in your mailbox. Tasks: This folder lists tasks that have been assigned to you or that you have assigned to either yourself or others. Search Folders: These folders contain up-to-date results of searches you have conducted for messages that match specific search criteria. Mail Although Outlook 2013 helps you manage your calendar, contacts, and tasks, the primary reason most people use Outlook is to send and receive messages. Over the past decade, (short for electronic mail) has become an accepted form of business communication and a way for people to keep in touch with friends and family. Outlook makes it easy to connect to multiple accounts and provides all the tools you need to send, respond to, organize, filter, sort, find, and otherwise manage messages. Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 9

10 The Mail module is displayed by default when you start Outlook You can display the Mail module at any time by clicking Mail on the Navigation bar. In the Mail module, the Folder pane displays the Favorites list and the folder structure of your mailbox, the Content pane displays the messages in your Inbox folder or other selected mail folder, and the Reading pane displays the contents of the selected message (see Figure 14). NOTE: You can add any mailbox folder to the Favorites list by dragging the folder to the Favorites list or by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Show in Favorites on the shortcut menu. Figure 14 Outlook 2013 Program Window Displaying the Mail Module Creating and Sending Messages You can use the Message window to compose a new message or a message response. The Message window has its own Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar, separate from those in the Outlook program window. The content of the Message window and the commands on the Message window Ribbon differ depending on whether you are composing a message or reading a message. Creating an message is a relatively simple process. The only information that is required is the recipient s address. However, you will usually provide information in the To box, Subject box, and the Message box. To create an message: 1. If necessary, click Mail on the Navigation bar to display the Mail module. 2. On the Home tab, in the New group, click the New button (see Figure 15). A new Message window opens (see Figure 16). Figure 15 New Group on the Home Tab Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 10

11 Figure 16 Message Window Addressing Messages Every new message must have at least one recipient. Addressing an message is as simple as entering the intended recipient s address into any of the three address boxes in the Message window. You can direct a single message to multiple recipients by including multiple addresses in the To box or by using the Cc or Bcc boxes. To: This address box is for primary message recipients. Usually, these are the people that you want to respond to the message. Cc: This address box is for carbon copy recipients. These are usually people that you want to keep informed about the subject of the message, but from whom you do not require a response. Bcc: This address box is for blind carbon copy recipients. These are people that you want to keep informed, but whom you want to keep hidden from other message recipients. NOTE: The Bcc box is not displayed by default. You can display it by clicking the Bcc button in the Show Fields group on the Options tab of the Ribbon (see Figure 17). Figure 17 Show Fields Group on the Options Tab You can insert an address into an address box in the following ways: Type the entire address. Type part of a previously used address, and then select the address from the Auto- Complete list that appears. Click the address box label (To, Cc, or Bcc) to display the Select Names dialog box, and then select one or more addresses from an address book. To address a message: 1. In the To, Cc, or Bcc box, type the address of each recipient. Separate multiple entries with a semicolon (;). Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 11

12 Adding a Subject After you have addressed your message, you should enter a brief description of the message in the Subject box. Adding a subject is optional, but highly recommended. It can be used by you or the recipient to identify the message. Outlook will warn you if you try to send a message with no subject. To add a subject: 1. In the Subject box, type the subject of your message. Entering Message Content A message created in Outlook can include virtually any element that you can insert into a Word document (text, images, tables, charts, hyperlinks, etc.). You can also format the text of your message to make it more readable. Formatting can be applied using the commands on the Message tab or the Format Text tab of the Ribbon (see Figure 18). Figure 18 Basic Text Group on the Message Tab Outlook can send and receive messages in three message formats: HTML messages can contain formatting and are compatible with most readers. This is the default format. Plain Text messages can be read by everyone, but contain no formatting. Rich Text messages can contain formatting, but are only compatible with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange. NOTE: You can change the message format by selecting the desired option in the Format group on the Format Text tab of the Ribbon (see Figure 19). Figure 19 Format Group on the Format Text Tab To enter message content: 1. In the Message box (the large text box below the Subject box), compose your message. NOTE: As you type your message, you do not have to press the Enter key at the end of each line; keep typing and Outlook will wrap the text to the next line. Press the Enter key if you want to create a new paragraph. Attaching Files and Outlook Items to Messages A convenient way to distribute a file (such as a Word document, Excel workbook, PowerPoint presentation, or picture) is to attach the file to an message. Message recipients can preview or open the file, forward it to other people, or save it to their computers. You can also attach Outlook items (such as messages, tasks, contacts, or calendar items) to an message. You can attach multiple files or Outlook items to a message. NOTE: By default, Outlook blocks potentially unsafe attachments (including.bat,.exe,.vbs, and.js files) that might contain viruses. Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 12

13 To attach a file to a message: 1. On the Message tab, in the Include group, click the Attach File button (see Figure 20). 2. In the Insert File dialog box, locate and select the file that you want to attach, and then click the Insert button. The file appears in the Attached box in the message header. Figure 20 Include Group on the Message Tab To attach an Outlook item to a message: 1. On the Message tab, in the Include group, click the Attach Item button, and then click Outlook Item (see Figure 21). 2. In the Insert Item dialog box, select the folder that contains the item you want to attach in the Look in box, select the desired item in the Items box, and then click the OK button. The item appears in the Attached box in the message header. Figure 21 Attach Item Menu Changing the Importance Level The default level of importance for a message is Normal. You can indicate the urgency of a message by changing its importance level to High or Low. Messages with a High importance level are indicated by a red exclamation point. Messages with a Low importance level are indicated by a blue down arrow. No icon is displayed for messages with a Normal importance level. To change the importance level of a message: 1. On the Message tab, in the Tags group, click the High Importance or Low Importance button (see Figure 22). Outlook highlights the selected button to provide a visual indicator of the message s importance level. NOTE: You can change the importance level back to Normal by clicking the highlighted button in the Tags group. Figure 22 Tags Group on the Message Tab Microsoft Outlook 2013 Part 1: Introduction to Outlook 13

14 Requesting Delivery and Read Receipts You can track any message by requesting a delivery receipt or read receipt. A delivery receipt indicates the date and time your message was delivered to the recipient s mailbox. A read receipt indicates the date and time the recipient opened your message. In both cases, you receive a message notification in your Inbox folder. To request a delivery receipt: 1. On the Options tab, in the Tracking group, select the Request a Delivery Receipt check box (see Figure 23). To request a read receipt: 1. On the Options tab, in the Tracking group, select the Request a Read Receipt check box (see Figure 23). Figure 23 Tracking Group on the Options Tab Saving and Sending Messages While you are composing a message, Outlook saves a copy of the message in the Drafts folder at regular intervals. This is intended to protect you from losing messages that are in progress. You can save a message draft at any time by clicking the Save button on the Quick Access toolbar. When you send the message, Outlook deletes the message draft, if one exists, and stores a copy of the sent message in the Sent Items folder. To send a message: 1. In the Message window, click the Send button (see Figure 24). Figure 24 Send Button Receiving and Reading Messages All new messages are automatically delivered to your Inbox folder. The total number of messages in a folder appears on the Status bar, and the number of unread messages appears on the Status bar and next to the folder in the Folder pane. The message list in the Content pane displays the header of each message (see Figure 25). The message header provides basic information about a message such as the sender s name or address, the subject of the message, and the date or time the message was received. The subject and date of an unread message appear in bold, blue text and a blue bar appears on the left side of the message. A message that has been read appears in regular text in the message list. Icons displayed in the message header provide additional information about a message. An envelope icon with a left arrow indicates that the message has been replied to. An envelope icon with a right arrow indicates that the message has been forwarded. A paper clip icon indicates that the message includes one or more attachments.

23 Organizing Messages Outlook provides many useful features that allow you to organize messages. You can rearrange and sort messages within the message list to help you quickly find the information that you need. You can also organize messages by moving them into folders. Arranging and Sorting Messages By default, Outlook displays messages arranged by date, from newest to oldest. You can rearrange messages within the message list by selecting one of the standard arrangements (Date, From, To, Categories, Flag: Start Date, Flag: Due Date, Size, Subject, Type, Attachments, Account, or Importance) from the Arrangement gallery. You can also change the sort order of the message list. To change how the message list is arranged: 1.

On the View tab, in the Arrangement group, click the Reverse Sort button (see Figure 40). Using Folders Although you can leave all your messages in the Inbox folder, moving messages into other folders will unclutter your Inbox folder and help you locate messages when you need them. You can use the existing folders created automatically by Outlook, or you can create your own folders to help you organize your messages in a way that makes the most sense to you. When you create a folder, you specify the location of the folder within the existing Outlook folder structure and the type of items you want the folder to contain. You can rename or delete any folder that you create. To create a new folder: 1. On the Folder tab, in the New group, click the New Folder button (see Figure 41).
